be part of the solution
"EFEC is an incredibly effective and innovative leader in Colorado's education landscape. Colorado has the least competitive teacher salaries in the nation. Addressing that requires outreach, action, and advocacy at both the state and local levels. That's why organizations that support our schools and kids should look to the EFEC team and their extraordinary efforts in Eagle County. EFEC is the gold standard for this critical work."
- Lisa Weil, Great Education Colorado
EFEC is the #1 teacher retention effort in Eagle County.
This event raises money to support the Education Foundation of Eagle County across all areas of its mission, helping Eagle County students, teachers, and schools through grants, awards, programs, mental health issues, and more!
